It's hard to find much info on RT so I thought I would pick your guy's brains. I have recenty purchased about 3 low grade rt's for cheap, I was wondering if this could give me a step ahead to getting a better quality rt? Could I breed one with a male carpintis ‘Escondido’ or 'tamasopoensis' and get a better quality one or would I want to breed it with a red devil or parrot? Or are am I pretty much out of luck on taking them further?
Thanks
 
most low grade red texas's lack the red, my suggestion would be to breed it with a red fish and see what you come up with. I've been hitting the bottle but.. What is a tamasopoensis?

If you want post a picture of your fish and say "what should I breed this with"
 
They are only about 2 inches right now so its hard to tell how they will come out. I got that name from J Rapps website so I don't have a pic. I just read the description is all. I will post a pic when they are closer to 4" and go from there.
 
the tamasopoensis look like a smaller escondido from the picvs ive seen
 
For RT fry . If in Thailand .

- Fish pearls pattern with spaces between each pearls are very important .

- White clean eyes (Many foreigners do not know that in Thailand where RT created Red , yelllow eyes RT will not be counted as RT)

- Fade color (If you buy good quality RT Fade color are also a must At least must be orange as RT may turn himself with good quality pellets food with non-hormone )

This is some link for RT which is one of the best even if in Thailand. I have seen this fish from here so you can go and have a look at . Ohh ! Login is required to view photos there http://club.fishmonsterclub.com/viewthread.php?tid=126&page=1#pid386 .
